Band

CTCS offers beginning band to all Secondary students. We also offer intermediate and advanced classes for those who have completed beginning band. The music department at CTCS strives to encourage the creativity that God has placed in each one of us. Through playing instruments we enhance right brain creativity and thinking that can be used in all subjects of school. Every child has creativity placed in them, some with the talent of art, others with singing and still others with playing music.
